Wow ? that's mental. So it lead you to Reiki? Well there you go then oh I hope you enjoy your Reiki level 2! Love to read bits about that when your done ❤️

Couple of questions during observations have popped up for me lately whilst practicing and I'd love to ask your opinion: A) Draw your shoulder blades down B) Keep your hips square https://www.yogajournal.com/teach/alignment-cues-decoded-draw-shoulders-down https://www.ekhartyoga.com/articles/anatomy/alignment-cues-i-no-longer-use I've been practicing yoga for around a year now and to me personally these two slight adjustments don't feel natural to the body, I'd even go as far as to say they could potentially cause injury. Yet, every single yoga teacher I've come across encourages the yogi's to do so. Opinions and observations?... Please ?

This is frigging ace ??❤️

Observing the majority of my thought is memory based (past) I don't tend to think into the future but I dwell more in the past. Random insight I've only just noticed this week.

@DrewNows thank you so so much ❤️

It's absolutely astonishing isn't it. You physically feel everything come into existence within a split second. It hits your body like a train. Boom. (Off topic, you (me) (lol)) randomly popped into my consciousness this morning)

@Serotoninluv Yin is amazing serotonin, 100% agree. I'll definitely look her up. I actually attended a yin class just this morning. A lot of emotional releases for (me anyway) happen during yin. Forgive me @Nahm because I had giggle at reading your response. Not at what it said but at your delivery of it. From a water park slide though? Oh my god, how in the name did that happen? Sounds as if you had a 'fuck it' kinda moment and actually moved in the way you wanted to ?. Totally 100% agree with you about the thinking/reduces/prevents healing. Wow so glad your all better ? well done dude! No sciatic twinges ever now?

@ajasatya Sorry dude I meant it is your reply. Oh I will do thank you!

@ajasatya thanks for your opinion ❤️

@Tony 845 happened to myself during meditation. Jerking back and forth then I to small circles. I then flung forward and cried immensely for about 30 minutes. Life changed from that point onward.

Totally get what your saying. This behaviour from one parent isn't something I have only observed. It's been seen by other people to. As it's family, the only thing we can do is try and counteract the behaviour from the parent otherwise it would cause a riot of shit within the family.

Having some slight problems at home with family at the moment. Worried about my little niece's upbringing and environment. What do you do if you spot neglect within your own family? This is so tough. Yesterday I did one hour of walking meditation in the sun and it was the most graceful walk I've ever observed. This morning vinyasa flow yoga ?

Why do I not have mothering instincts? Why do I not want children? Isn't this supposed to be like my purpose as a woman? This is why I have a womb? I'm more drawn to animals. I'm scared of regret when it's too late. I'm sick of the pressure from society telling me to have children and what I will miss out on/nothing will ever compare to children etc. I'm clearly struggling with this internally, very confused. Any advice?

I agree otherwise you'd just binge. Moderation is key and having the willpower to put things down

Wow .

Agreed. If you're aware enough you will be able to observe shadow without doing any 'work' at all. Being brutally honest with oneself, I feel is the missing link between acceptance and transcendence of the shadow and not.

My motivational song ❤️

No idea what's up with me lately. Don't think this prolonged rain is helping at all. Just absolutely pissing it down everyday. Constantly drying the dogs, their harnesses and coats. Be nice if some spring weather would show it's face. It's just 24/7 windy, rainy and cold and since losing the weight I'm always cold which in turn is effecting the arthritis. Got up this morning and straight away felt like a walk in nature with the dog. Lovely being out before most are up. Very still. Feel slightly better after that walk. Just craving my own space all the time. Solitude. Away from everyone and everything curled up in a big quilt ??

@Soulbass Thanks!! ❤️

You cannot get rid of it. You are not separate from it, it is you. Submerge yourself brother and realise it's love.

Since when is Leo even on twitter the sly devil ?

College this morning/afternoon. Pressure is becoming heavier as main exam's are fast approaching. Might look into nootropics again to help with study. Today PMS wise has been much better. I was walking in the rain with the dog and the sun appeared from behind the clouds, I suddenly felt re-energised. I briefly contemplated why the sun had this impact. Sun is energy, it is life, without the sun there would be no life. I think the energy from the sun (and moon) is unbelievably underestimated. Speaking of sun, 21st March I fly to Barcelona for 6 days, (booked outward flight this morning) staying in a hostel. The sun really helps with arthritis. Still keeping up with Pilates, moved up to an intermediate class. I plan on partaking in some yoga & meditation whilst in Barcelona.

You dick ?

Only started taking it yesterday Michael but wether it's placebo or not I do feel the irritability has already declined. I haven't actually started my period as of yet but I'll keep an eye on the pain levels. Glad to hear it's worked for her ? Yeah, nah... Definitely no chance of me getting pregnant unless I have a Virgin Mary pregnancy ? thanks for the heads up though! I didn't get any sort of ... From your comment at all Michael. Just @Shin being a paranoid odd ball. And shin, you haven't called 'dibs' on anything, I'm not something to be 'dibbed' anyway so you can knock that right off Thank you again Michael, I'll keep the journal updated as I go along shark week ??
